Ever since he won Dana White’s Contender Series in Brazil last August, light heavyweight contender Johnny Walker has been making waves in the UFC. His recent three fights over the last four months against Khalil Rountree, Justin Ledet, and Misha Cirkunov all ended via first-round TKO, along with Performance of the Night Bonuses.
Walker may still be a few notches below the totem pole, which he recognizes. But given the confidence he holds on his skillset, he feels he is ready to take on bigger challenges, including a fight against Jon Jones.
“Man, I think that one or two more (wins is enough), but I’m ready to fight Jon Jones already,” Walker told reporters at UFC 237 on Saturday (via MMA Fighting).
